NAME

DESCRIPTION

The left hand part of the ISO 8859-1 code table includes the same characters
as defined in the ASCII codeset (refer to
ascii(5)). The following
characters occupy the right hand part of the ISO 8859-1 code table:

E0 SMALL LETTER a WITH GRAVE ACCENT
E1 SMALL LETTER a WITH ACUTE ACCENT
E2 SMALL LETTER a WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
E3 SMALL LETTER a WITH TILDE
E4 SMALL LETTER a WITH DIAERSIS
E5 SMALL LETTER a WITH RING ABOVE
E6 SMALL DIPHTHONG a WITH e
E7 SMALL LETTER c WITH CEDILLA
E8 SMALL LETTER e WITH GRAVE ACCENT
E9 SMALL LETTER e WITH ACUTE ACCENT
EA SMALL LETTER e WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
EB SMALL LETTER e WITH DIAERSIS
EC SMALL LETTER i WITH GRAVE ACCENT
ED SMALL LETTER i WITH ACUTE ACCENT
EE SMALL LETTER i WITH CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
EF SMALL LETTER i WITH DIAERSIS

Character Set Designation

The graphic characters of of ISO 8859-1 constitute a single coded character
set. However, when this character set is implemented together with other coding
standards such as ISO 2022 or ISO 4873, the code table for graphic characters
in ISO 8859-1 are considered to be the following components:
The character SPACE represented by bit combination 20(hex).
A 94-character G0 graphic character set represented by bit
combinations 21 to 7E(hex).
A 96-character G1 graphic character set represented by bit
combinations A0 to FF(hex).

For information on the G0 and G1 character set designations, refer to
iso2022(5).

When required by other coding standards, for example ISO 2022 or ISO
4873, the following pair of escape sequences are used to designate the G0
and the G1 sets, respectively.

ESC 28 42 or ESC ( B
ESC 2D 41 or ESC - A

According to ISO 2022, the character SPACE does not require designation.

formats

Font Support for ISO 8859-1

This section lists bitmap fonts available for ISO 8859-1. There
are three lists of bitmap fonts. The 100dpi and 75dpi bitmap fonts are listed
separately for fonts installed for use with Latin-1 languages. The third list
contains supplemental fonts that are used only when optional subsets supporting
Asian languages are installed on your system.

PostScript fonts supporting ISO 8859-1 are printer resident; they are
not supplied through software installation.

100 dpi Bitmap Fonts

The following 100dpi bitmap fonts are available for the
ISO8859-1
codeset. Unless the point size options are explicitly specified
in parentheses following the font name, you can assume the font is available
in 8-, 10-, 12-, 14-, 18-, and 24-point sizes:

75 dpi Bitmap Fonts

The following 75dpi bitmap fonts are available for the
iso8859-1
codeset. Unless the point size options are explicitly specified
in parentheses following the font name, you can assume the font is available
in 8-, 10-, 12-, 14-, 18-, and 24-point sizes:

Compose-Character Sequences

The following table specifies the character elements that produce another
character when you use the compose-character input method with a keyboard
that supports the ISO 8859-1 character set. Refer to
keyboard(5)
for general
information on the compose-character input method.
